The Goal: Understand how many business days it takes for e-commerce credit card payments to post to NAR, based on the card type used.
Before You Begin:
- This timing applies to associations using the NAR e-commerce credit card processing integration (Real Estate Edition).
- Posting times are counted in business days and exclude weekends and holidays.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Credit card payments are posted to NAR as follows:
- VISA/MasterCard – 3 business days
- Discover – 4 business days
- American Express – 5 business days
Common Pitfalls
- Expecting same-day posting: Payments do not post to NAR instantly. Allow the full number of business days for the card type before assuming a payment failed, and remember that weekends and holidays are not counted.
